The cabinet is preferably made square or This invention relates to 'sterilizingcabirectangular as shown ini the drawings, sup: nets, and particularly to a portable heater portedby legs 1,and havingasui-table burner for use in barber-shops for heating cloths and 2 supplied from a reservoir 3, by. a .pipe 4. 5 towels and for purposes of sterilizing barbers. 7A Water-tank or reservoir 5 is located over implements. the burner 2-, and is provided with a faucet 6.

Having thus described my invention what i claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. In a sterilizing cabinet, the combination I with two tiers of drawers having a passage from the bottom to the top of the cabinet between the tiers and a space between the drawers of each tier and having a space between the rear end of the drawers and the troughs from the drawers to the said return.

space.

In a. sterilizing cabinet, the combination of two tiers of drawers having a heating flue between the tiers and a s' ace hetween the drawers of each tier, an a bac" space from the bottom to the top ofthe cabinet between the rear end of the drawers and the. back of the cabinet, two pairs of inclined runners'for each drawer, one' pair thereof forming drip-troughs which discharge into said back space, and a'drip-trough in the top of the cabinet and ha'vingside branch troughs discharging into said back space.

3. In a sterilizing cabinet, the combination With inclined drawer-runners forming drip or drain troughs, of a drawer having a non-perforated central portion elevated or raised above the side edges of the bottom and having slots or elongations extending from said portion to each side edge of the bottom,"

substantially as set forth.

In witness whereof i hereunto set my hand in the presence of two witnesses. JOHN M. ALLS79E13? Witnesses:
